Zircon and Labradorite Chemical Formula
While comparing Zircon and Labradorite physical properties, the important data you should know is its chemical composition. Since chemical formula defines the molecular structure of the crystal, most of the physical properties like color, tenacity, solubility are governed by Zircon and Labradorite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Zircon- ZrSiO4
- Chemical formula of Labradorite- (Na,Ca)1-2Si3-2O8
Zircon and Labradorite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Zircon and Labradorite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Zircon and Labradorite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Zircon is 2.69-2.72 whereas that of Labradorite is 2.69-2.72.
